Too many Micro Breweries to list. As far as the more common ones...

Newcastle - it actually tastes pretty good warm too.

Guinness - only from the Tap... or the draught can, no bottles.

Samuel Smith - "winter welcome ale" usually only available in the winter.

Downtown brown - "The lost cost brewery" Eureka California micro brewery.

Fat tire/springboard


Imao, the only decent "mainstream" American brewery is Samuel Adams...and they even get their hops from Bavaria. I was trying to think, something else I really enjoy comes out of Bavaria...???

Corona is total piss. It's what they serve in all the crappy bars/clubs in Tijuana Mexico....$5 all you can drink. Don't even get me started on guys drinking Corona w/limes, "ghey"....but hey, to each their own.

Downtown Brown is really the only "micro" in that list. A damn good one at that, however. Their Great White is good too.

Sam Adams is actually half-decent, although when you live in the beer capital of the world, it's tough to actually order one over a local.

I am honestly a fan of the good 'ol original pilsner, Pilsner Urquell.

I was going to make this recommendation as well.

Pilsner's are usually what I drink when not drinking Porter/Stout's.

Yep.

Most of Sam Adams stuff is good but not excellent. They remind me of a contract brewer in NY, Saranac. Saranac has like 12 beers. All of them suck.

Agreed, The lime just makes your puke smell a little better at 4 AM...

I go for Pacifico, or Modello. It doesn't smell like a skunks waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Gnarley Wine is excellent.

Found a new bar here in Scranton I'm gonna try out, Backyard Ale House. Every Tuesday they offer 5 for $5 craft and microbrew samples. 400 bottles, 30 some on tap.

That doesn't quite have the same ring to it, no?

[Farbin Kaiber]

Nope, it kinda sounds like a box of silverware falling out of the FedEx Custom Critical truck.

Totally, Oregon has access to some great beers, same goes for northern cali... It trickles down to socal too, you just have to know where to look. Btw, what happened to the Henry Weinhard brewery? Didn't they move, or sell the company? That was pretty good beer, and 12 bottles could be had for $8. I remember taking road trips up to Portland and I loved how you could smell the hops from anywhere in town. I was sad when they stopped selling it down here. I can still find the private reserve, but that was my least favorite.

I just threw Downtown Brown in there cause it's a micro that you can actually find at most major grocery stores...in socal anyway.
